Seeing horror movies has turned me into Morgan Freeman in Seven -- grizzled, embittered and always expecting the worst. Don't believe me? Watch Halloween: Resurrection, They, 13th Child, and House of the Dead in the course of a year and see what you become.

Still, I'm always rooting for horror movies because you're never as alive as when you're scared to death. There's a good reason why small scary movies like Scream, The Ring, and The Sixth Sense became worldwide hits. People love to be scared, especially if the thrills and chills are presented with creativity and originality.
